Terms Of Use

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE (THE "AGREEMENT" OR THE "TERMS OF USE") CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES OFFERED BY ONCLAUDE (THE "COMPANY").

UPDATED ON 04-07-2014

This Agreement establishes the legally binding terms and conditions according to which Onclaude offers you access and use of its website at onclaude.com as well as all other sites owned and operated by it including all subdomains (collectively, the “Site”); and all services owned and operated by Onclaude (collectively, the “Service”) including but not limited to visiting or browsing the Site or contributing content, information or other materials or services to it or any interactive service that may be available to you through it.

Description of Service

Onclaude is a platform which fosters design innovation by empowering cutting-edge designers and companies through the provision of access to content and services; and promotes collaboration, networking and enhanced productivity in the professional design community. Through the Site and associated emails, websites and other media, Onclaude offers and/or makes available various content including but not limited to videos, photographs, images, artwork, graphics, audio clips, comments, data, text, software, scripts, projects, other material and information and associated trademarks and copyrightable works (collectively, the “Content”).

Onclaude, at its sole discretion, might also provide certain users of the Site with the opportunity to become a member of its network of design innovators (the “Network” or “Innovators Network”) and contribute, add, create, upload, submit, distribute, facilitate the distribution of, collect, post or otherwise make Content accessible. “User Content” or “User Submissions” thus refers to Content submitted by Users. In addition, Onclaude might, at its sole discretion, offer other kinds of services to certain users, including but not limited to fundraising tools through the Site.

For the purposes of these Terms of Use, the term "User Content" and “User Submissions” includes, without limitation, any videos, audio clips, comments, information, data, text, photographs, software, scripts, graphics, and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible by the Company or its partners on or through the Service.

Acknowledgement and Acceptance of Terms and Conditions

The Service is offered subject to acceptance without modification of all terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, which also incorporates Onclaude's Privacy Policy and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published periodically on the Site by the Company, all of which are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference and may be updated from time to time by the Company without prior notice. In addition, some services offered through the Site may be subject to additional terms and conditions as advised by Onclaude and Users’ use of those services is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are, again, incorporated into these Terms of Use by this reference.

Users acknowledge and agree that Onclaude is not responsible for and has no control over Content posted or uploaded to the Site by Users. Users are solely responsible for their own Submissions in case of any violation of operating laws, rules, policies and procedures including those under this Agreement. Onclaude is not liable for damages caused directly or indirectly by use of the services provided.

All information publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Site and the Service is the sole responsibility of the User from which it originates. Onclaude is not liable for any errors or omissions in any Content on the Site. Users thus access Content through the Site and the Service at their own risk and Users themselves are solely responsible for any resulting damage or loss that their accessing the Site might have on any third party. Onclaude cannot guarantee the identity of Users with whom other Users interact whilst using the Site and/or the Service. Onclaude reserves the right to delete, edit, modify, reformat, excerpt or translate any User Submission.

By using the Site and the Service, Users agree to provide accurate and truthful information and to respect any operating rules on patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyright.

You must be 18 years old to register for Onclaude. By using the Site and/or the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by all its Terms and Conditions. Onclaude might, at its sole discretion, refuse to offer the Service to any person or entity or change its eligibility criteria at any time.

This Agreement does not establish any partnership, joint venture, franchise, employment or agency contract or any relationship whatsoever between Onclaude and Users. Users thus access and use the Site autonomously and independently of Onclaude at all times.

Modification of Terms of Use

Onclaude reserves the right at any time to change, modify or replace the Terms of Use applicable to use of the Site or any part thereof and to change, suspend or discontinue the Site and/or the Service (including, but not limited to, the availability of any feature, database or Content), again, at any time and for any reason whatsoever. Onclaude may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict Users’ access to parts or all of the Service without notice or liability. It is Users’ responsibility to check the Terms of Use periodically to learn of any changes and Users’ continued use of the Service following any revision of the Terms of Use constitutes Users’ acceptance of those changes.

User Conduct

As a condition of use, you promise not to use the Service for any purpose that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the Terms of Use.

The Service (including, without limitation, any User Content or User Submissions) is provided only for your own personal, non-commercial use (except with respect to projects listed for crowdfunding as authorized through the Service).

Users are solely responsible for any Content that they might upload, publish, display, link to or otherwise make available on the Service, and Users agree that the Company is only acting as a passive conduit for Users’ online distribution and publication of Content. Users must be the owners of all Intellectual Property Rights associated with the Content they post, or have explicit permission from the owners of all such rights to post the said Content on Onclaude.

Users are responsible for the entirety of their activity in connection with the Service.

By way of example, and not as a limitation, Users shall not (and shall not permit any third party to) upload, download, post, submit, otherwise distribute or facilitate distribution of any User Content on or through the Service, including without limitation any User Submissions that:

Infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity or other right of any other person or entity or violate any law or contractual duty of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction;

constitute unauthorized or unsolicited advertising or promotional material or junk or bulk e-mail;

contain software viruses or any other computer codes, files, or programs that are designed or intended to disrupt, damage, limit or interfere with the proper function of any software, hardware, or telecommunications equipment or to damage or obtain unauthorized access to any system, data, password or other information of the Company or any third party or to impersonate any person or entity, including any employee or representative of the Company.

Additionally, Users shall not:

Interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Service or any activities conducted on the Service;

Thwart any measures the Company may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service (or other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to the Service);

Users shall abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations.

The Company does not guarantee that any Content or User Submissions submitted to the Site will actually be accepted and made available on it or through the Service. In addition, the Company reserves the right to remove or modify any Content or User Submissions at its sole discretion without limitation, at any time, without notifying Users and for any reason whatsoever.

Onclaude undertakes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any Content that Users or any third parties may post or send over the Service. The Company is under no obligation to monitor the Site, Service, Content, or User Submissions but might do so at its sole discretion from time to time. Users understand and agree that any loss or damage of any kind that occurs as a result of the use of any User Content that Users might send, upload, download, stream, post, transmit, display, or otherwise make available or access through their use of the Service, is solely their responsibility. Onclaude is not responsible for any public display or misuse of User Content. Users understand and acknowledge that they may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and Users agree that Onclaude shall not be liable for any damages Users or any third parties allege they incur as a result of such use of User Content.

Users are solely responsible for their interactions with other Onclaude Users. The Company reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between Users.

Registration

Users may browse the Site and view Content on the Site without registering but, as a condition of using certain aspects of the Service, Users may be required to sign up through their Facebook or Google account or through their email and may be required to provide a username and password. Users wanting to become a Member (a “Network Member” or “Member”) of Onclaude's Innovators Network will be required to go through an additional registration process providing their full name or the legal name of their business ("Member ID") as well as any other additional personal information that may be required to build their profile page.

Users shall provide accurate, complete, and updated registration information. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of the Terms of Use, which may result in immediate termination of your account. Users shall not use as their username, Member ID, domain name, or project name the name of another person or any word or term associated with it which may be subject to any rights of that other person, with the intent to impersonate that person or for any other reason or purpose whatsoever, without appropriate authorization. The Company reserves the right at its sole discretion to accept or refuse registration of or cancel a username, Member ID, domain name, or project name. Users are solely responsible for any and all activity that occurs on their account and shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their password to the Site. Users shall never access another User account without that other User’s express permission. Users will immediately notify Onclaude in writing of any unauthorized use of their account, or other known account-related security breach.

Showcasing Work, Projects and Products

The Company may offer Users the opportunity to display their work, projects and/or products (collectively, their “Works”) on the Site and to share certain information about them. Users need to register as a Member of the Innovators Network to showcase their portfolio of Works. The Company might monitor your membership application process and, at its sole discretion, refuse to offer the Service to any person or entity or change its eligibility criteria for any reason whatsoever at any time.

By accepting this Agreement, Users promise not to use the Site and/or the Service for any purpose that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the Terms of Use and/or by any operating rules and laws.

Changes to fees are effective after we provide you with notice by posting the changes on the Site. You are responsible for paying all fees and taxes associated with your use of the Service.

Third-Party Sites

The Service may permit you to link to other websites, advertisers, services or other resources on the internet which are not owned or controlled by the Company and other websites or resources may contain links to the Site. When you access third-party websites, you do so at your own risk. Those other websites are not under the Company's control, and you acknowledge that the Company is not liable for the content, function, accuracy, legality, appropriateness, or any other aspect of those other websites or resources. The inclusion on another website of any link to the Site does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with the Company. You further acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be liable for any damage related to the use of any content, goods, or services available through any third-party website or resource.

The Company may, in appropriate circumstances but at its sole discretion, terminate the accounts of Users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

All Users, including but not limited to Network Members and Project Creators, represent and warrant, and can demonstrate to the Company’s full satisfaction upon request that they:
